摘要:
The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for transferring an amount of a liquid drug (11) from a supply container (1) having stored the liquid drug (11) to a collapsible reservoir (2), the method including and the apparatus enabling the steps of: a) providing a fluid connection (3) between the supply container (1) and the collapsible reservoir (2); b) subjecting the liquid drug (11) stored in the supply container (1) to an environmental pressure; c) subjecting the collapsible reservoir (2) to a positive pressure relative to the environmental pressure, thereby collapsing the collapsible reservoir (2) and transferring gas comprised in the collapsible reservoir (2) from the collapsible reservoir (2) to the supply container (1); d) subjecting the collapsible reservoir (2) to a negative pressure relative to the environmental pressure, thereby expanding the collapsible reservoir (2) and transferring the amount of the liquid drug (11) from the supply container (1) to the collapsible reservoir (2).

The invention concerns a method for removing gas and/or gas bubbles (6) from a liquid medicament (5) stored in a reservoir (1) for an infusion pump device. The reservoir (1) comprises a displacing member (15, 13) which is at least partly displaceable relative to the reservoir (1) thereby enabling receiving mechanical oscillations in order to generate mechanical waves in the liquid medicament (5). The method comprises: providing the reservoir (1); and transmitting a mechanical oscillation (70) to the displacing member (15, 13) of the reservoir (1) thereby generating a mechanical wave (7) in the liquid medicament (5) for removing gas and/or gas bubbles (6) from the liquid medicament (5).
摘要:
A cannula cartridge (112) for receiving a cannula (114), a kit (110) comprising the cannula cartridge (112) and a method of manufacturing the cannula cartridge (112) are disclosed. The cannula cartridge 112) comprises: a) a needle unit (126) having a needle hub (128) and a needle (130) attached to the needle hub (128); b) a cannula (114), specifically a soft cannula; and c) a protective element (132). The needle unit (126) is movable within the protective element (132) from at least one first position to at least one second position and vice a versa. In the first position the needle (130) is covered by the protective element (132). In the second position the needle (130) at least partially extends from the protective element (132). In the first position a retaining member (134) of the protective element (132) engages with an engagement element (136) of the needle hub (128) by a form fit connection. The needle unit (126) is configured to be moved by an inserter (116) from the first position to the second position and back to a the first position in which the retaining member (134) again engages with the engagement element (136) of the needle hub (128). The retaining member (134) and the engagement element (136) of the needle hub (128) are configured such that a holding force of the retaining member (134) is overcome by applying forces parallel to the axis (138) of the needle (130).

摘要:
A puncturing device comprising a band-shaped lancet carrier (2) carrying a plurality of lancets (3), a transport mechanism (6,7,8) for positioning the lancets (3) sequentially in a launch position by moving the band-shaped lancet carrier (2), a lancet drive (4) for accelerating a lancet (3) from the launch position for a puncturing movement, the lancet drive (4) comprising an energy storage (12) for providing energy for the acceleration of the lancet (3), a trigger element (10) for triggering the lancet drive (4), and a housing (5) which comprises at least two housing parts and encloses the band-shaped lancet carrier (2) and the lancet drive (4), the housing (5) having an opening (16), against which a body part is pressed for puncturing by a lancet (3). The puncturing device (1) is adapted for disposable use in that the housing parts were irreversibly connected upon enclosing the band-shaped lancet carrier (2) thereby sealing the band-shaped lancet carrier (2) irremovably in the housing (5).
